st: problems with reshaping dataset.

Dear Stata users,
I have a dataset which looks like:
country v1_80 v2_80...v59_80 v1_00 v2_01 v3_01
ALB x x x x x x
I use the reshape long comand, but it does not reshape the variables
where the year is 00, 01.
Besides, I want to reshape the dataset like
country year variable
ALB 1980 v1
ALB 1980 v2
ALB 2000 v1
ALB 2001 v1
I have tried variants of reshape command but have failed to achieve
such a structure of my dataset.
I would be grateful if anybody could help me ?
Thanks,
Natasha
